Wang to Start Game 4 - Where is Mike Mussina?
October 8th, 2007
Well, if you took my odds on Mike Mussina as the game 4 starter, I guess I’ll have to owe ya - I’m good for it, really.
More than ever, I cannot understand what Joe Torre is doing with the New York Yankee pitching staff - why did Roger Clemens start game 3 with Mike Mussina in much better shape and on a roll, if we were not going to "Moose" for game 4? I also was a bit concerned with using Joba so long last night, but I cannot fully bring myself to say that I would have brought in anyone else, so I will let that go - until, of course, we need him tonight. In a game that you are up by 5 or so late, we should only use Joba OR Mariano, but certainly not both.
Let’s hope we need neither of them tonight (in a good way)…

Well, about 2 minutes in and Grady Sizemore just homered on a pitch that was up in the strike zone…

And now it’s 2 nothing (still in the 1st)…. nice choice Torre!

CRAP! Are you ever wrong? Jeez I thought you were a Yankee fan.

Unfortunately, I am rarely wrong (in baseball at least - marriage is a different story ;^ )
ED NOTE: (at this point, Wang was just pulled with 0 out in the 2nd and the bases loaded, Mike Mussina came in to relieve him…)

Torre still doesn’t get it! 0 out, men on 1st and 2nd and MELKY ISN’T BUNTING?????
FIRE JOE TORRE. Not after the game. NOW.
Let Mattingly or Posada manage the rest of the game…
